...such strategy is called scaffolding: we'll work through the text together, and I'll explain what I'm seeing as we go along. Then we do it again, with a different text, and you explain what you're starting to notice. We can apply this approach to stories, poetry, Shakespeare, reading comprehension exams, or even your own writing: this particular kind of analysis is incredibly useful as an editing tool for essays or fiction. Teaching has been my...

Economics can be fun and economics...
